Foxworthy Things That Describe Nelli

Time for breakfast

Welcome! Come on in!

I saved you a table right here in the kitchen.

My name is Nelli and I’m a Redneck. I used to be in denial, but then I heard Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a Redneck if…” series and I can no longer deny it.So instead of being embarrassed about it, I decided it’d be okay if I’d just settle in and focus on one of the BEST things about being a Redneck: the FOOD!So for the benefit of the non-rednecks out there, who may have previously been denied access to fine Redneck cuisine, I decided I’d start posting some recipes and menu ideas here at Nelli’s Redneck Restaurant.

All my best recipes have their origin in the cookbooks I bought from my sisters-in-law, my friends, my church. I just tweak them a little to suit my own taste. Stop by often and get some ideas for rustling up the grub you’re going to put on your own table tonight.

By the way, we don’t count carbs or calories, so if you’re on restrictions, you’d best get a table someplace else.

One more thing you should know: Rednecks eat four times a day. Breakfast is in the morning. Dinner is at noon. Lunch is a snack in the mid afternoon and supper is at sundown. There’s no such thing as brunch. Brunch is for people who are too lazy to get up in time for breakfast.And coffee is served at every meal.
